Women Entrepreneurs GROW Global

Are you experiencing growth pains and the last choice of growth for your business is to grow global?  Then you have come to the right place!  Not only here at WEGG can we unleash your global business potential but there are numerous other resources around the world that enable women entrepreneurs and business owners to cultivate their talents in the global marketplace.

We’ll start highlighting some of these online places in future blog posts.  After all, we are here to serve your needs because WEGG’s mission is all about educating women business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide on how to go global so they can run healthier businesses and create a new future for themselves, their families and their community.

One resource in particular that we are fond of is the Canadian Business Women in International Trade program (BWIT).  If you are operating your business in Canada and want to get export-ready and export-active with information on potential new markets, qualified contacts, and more, pay a visit.  Here’s a snapshot of BWIT:

The Canadian Business Women in International Trade program (BWIT) is part of the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service (TCS). The TCS is a network of more than 900 trade commissioners working in regional offices across Canada and in Canadian embassies, high commissions and consulates located in more than 150 cities around the world.

A new initiative aims to change the fact that women-owned businesses around the world receive only a fraction of the money that large organizations spend each year on new business contracts.

A half-dozen of the big guys – from IBM to Coca-Cola to Wal-Mart – will award $1.5 billion in contracts to women-owned businesses between 2013 and 2018.

Let’s track it ladies so you can grow your businesses!

In addition to the funds, other large firms and nonprofits are pledging assistance in the form of training, mentoring and strategy development to help women business owners grow and compete more effectively, Elizabeth Vazquez, CEO and co-founder of WEConnect, a women-focused non-profit behind the initiative.
